In a large saucepan, heat the vegetable oil. Saute the shallot/onion until just softened. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant.
Whisk in soy sauce, ketchup, sugar, ginger, and sriracha/red pepper. Once smooth, add the peanut butter and broth. Add the tofu/chicken and broccoli, and bring to a boil. Cook on medium until the sauce has reduced and thickened (and the chicken is cooked all the way through if using.)
